Boeing Plans Sheffield Manufacturing Facility

Published 3/9/2017

Boeing is planning to build a £20 million manufacturing facility in Sheffield in the United Kingdom. The 25,000-sf project will support the production of wing actuation components and systems for the fabrication division of Boeing Commercial Airplanes. The facility will also support collaborative research and development with the University of Sheffield’s Advanced Manufacturing Research Centre (AMRC) on techniques and systems for optimizing manufacturing processes. The building represents a strategic move to commence in-house production of these components to enhance efficiency and reduce costs.
